By Robert Kraft
In an article published on the web sites of over 100 media outlets the AP (1/13, Perrone) reports, "Food and Drug Administration officials have finalized guidelines that make it easier for pharmaceutical companies to use medical journal articles to promote drugs for unapproved uses."
